Was trying to find out when (if?) Salute was on this year. Nothing on www.salute.ie, nothing on www.imvg.org and eventually found 2 references: one on a living history forum from last April where the thread got locked after an argument over was a particular vehicle genuine or not and finally a more recent discussion on a Airsoft forum on boards.ie which confirms it on the weekend of Aug 29/30 at the National Show Centre near the airport. I've never been before, but weather permitting hope to make it on the Saturday. Anyone else going?

Cheers,
Sean

Hi Mr Baker,
Is that photo in the top left of yer post from Salute? I've been to the vintage military vehicle show in the Curragh the last few years but I believe Salute is a lot bigger....

Made it up there today. Well worth a visit if any of ye get a chance tomorrow (Sunday). Kits of jeeps and 4x4s of various ages and nationalities, a few tracked vehicles, and loads of stands selling all sorts of kit and memorabilia. And if you're into BBs there are loads on sale and display...
Cheers
Sean
